And it stinks because I feel like a coward - to fearful of loss to risk movement in any direction. Gosh darned.

Hi Sally. I hope all those busy things are good busy things. Life certainly can get complicated. I want to sit on the porch in a rocker, sip lemonade and listen to the frogs and katydids sing their evening chorus. How bout you?

Thanks. She is a doll! Yeah, she'll be spoiled!

Peace

Well, I came out to one of my best friends yesterday. She said that nothing I told her was a surprise and that I would always be her friend no matter what physical sex I was or what name I went by. I cried.

That's beautiful, Honey...

She truly is a a "Best" friend!

Welcome Jennifer,

You life story is very similar to mine except i am older and never married or had children.

Some of us are further along than others, we all go through transition at our own pace, this is not a race, everyone starts basically in the same place then.... bam.... before you know it you are where we are and stay around to help others through this mine field called transition.

January 3, 2011 - Life continues on.

Who am I? There was a time when I thought I knew the answer to that question. But then, we all ask it. Maybe its the search to find out that matters. I don't know. But the journey takes us whether we believe in it's relevance or not.

The year has been interesting. I write here this morning only because I have lost all other avenues of expression at this point. I do not mean that as insult, only that I feel so much an outsider no matter where I go. I suppose that is of my own doing. My life is one of simply being outside. -soft smile-

I will see my gender therapist tomorrow. First time this year. But this morning, the world is silent. The stillness of these hours always invites introspection. And here, Jennifer is allowed to write.

I tried this year to meet up with a local TG support group. Met the leader and she seemed a wonderful person; someone who would be great to be friends with. One of the members spoke with me in depth on the phone at a really difficult juncture for me. I am thankful for that. But they are all living, at least part time, in their chosen gender. And I do not fit in there. I could not bring myself (and I did try) to go to a meeting. I would stick out so badly and feel like such a misfit.

For a couple years I have been part of an internet forum that shares a heart interest of mine. Over the last little while, I revealed my heart to them. There were those who were interested in hearing about this GID thing and a handful of people who trid to look past the male exterior to see the female inside, but mostly, again, I just felt like a misfit. So there I bade my 'adieu' and left.

My wife and I never talk of this anymore. I move through my days as a man. But find myself revealing things (in my speech, in my dress, in my method of dealing with life), some barely perceptible and some overt, to those around me that if they were truly listening would give my true gender aways. I have at times blurted out to family members things like, "I am not like anyone you've ever known" and one when someone called me a 'girl' attempting to mock me, I responded with, "Calling me a 'girl' is an honor. I would priviledged." And those around sat and stared at me in shock for a moment.

I haven't been to church since march of last year. I do not fit in there and cannot make myself be part of the church men's groups. I attended there for 14 years. I love Christ and the message of the cross. I love theology and the study of Origins (Genesis). But even there, I feel as though my very presence is a pretense and a mockery. I cannot bear that.

I have told two of my skin on friends. Both have accepted it. But distance separates us and both are female. My wife would not deal well with me spending time with female friends anyway. And I understand that.

So, here I am.

Peace

Wow, time has gone by. Thought I'd drop in and see how things are here. My life hasn't changed much. More people know now. But I still sit.

I pray all is well with you all here.

Peace.

Every step forward is progress, even if it's just sharing with someone. :)

"Acolyte”

 

Consider the bottle

Deceptive, ephemeral;

Enticing

 

Inviting redemption.

 

Who inhabits the chapel of the lost?

Who visits the tabernacle of the tormented?

And hears the dirge of the depraved?

 

In aqueous requiem I sang the psalm of the inebriated

And offered approbation at the gilded altar of Neon.

 

Now in corpulent solitude I contemplate

And proffer penance for the iniquity of the inane

 

And lifting the chalice of the profane

I seal my discipleship...

- Jennifer T, 2003

Hi dear, I spent so many years living in the state of frustration and pain. I found release in work and vodka. The latter finally ruled my life so badly that gender didn't matter. By the grace of god i found a twelve step group and got sobe. Years into sobriety i came out to a mixed group that i had come to love. I was accepted! That helped me more than anything to become me. You never have to feel bad here at Laura's nor should you at a support group. Remember 'support' not critism. I hope you find peace within yourself and hope we can help. We try to help each other here as we travel on different but parallel paths.

Hugs,

Charlie

Hi Charlie.

I just spent an hour trying to get a dr appt changed. I live a couple hundred miles from where I am working currently. I stay here during the week and go home on the weekends. So spots at home work best if I can get them on early Mondays or late Fridays. Specialist was less than helpful. I gave up. Tired of fighting. I have the flu. Work is extremely difficult, to the point of being ludicrous. If I went into it, you'd honestly be astounded. Not sure how much longer I can do it.

And this. Every day, every waking moment I am confronted with the reality of what I am, what I desire to be, and the hugely insurmountable probability that I'll never attain wholeness in this lifetime. I feel like anything and everything I do or dont do lets someone down. I'm ready to cash my chips in, you know? I want out of the game. I'll always be torn in two.

I'm sorry. Been depressed for a long time. I'm alone with my thoughts and my heart is breaking.

But, I'll 'man' up, like I'm supposed to.

/pregnant dog session complete/. Sorry.

Well, today ends a year if my life in the place I mentioned in the last post here. I resigned. Accepted a new position with a different company that has brought me back home.

Here's to another beginning.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

      In this case the MAGA GOP transphobes Just my opinion of course
    • atlantis63
      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      Who, precisely, are "they"?

      Wife of mine pointed out that not getting a haircut for a month looks hideous - weird bald patches.  So back to super- short buzz cut.  This morning I braced, looking in the mirror.  I look like a woman trying to pass as a a guy, maybe  a small-breasted woman with enough T treatment to grow a mustache.    I would not believe me if I read what I write about me.  This is nuts.   White t-shirt: that they sell in the back of WM so you can tie-dye them or otherwise decorate them. They are thick and long lasting and slightly fitted, so that they could be a man's.  I like them.   Jeans, flip flops.   I will no longer point out these are women's.  What else would I wear?

      That is all that is necessary. I did the same thing. I must have gotten something wrong.

      Quite right mate! I have been letting my hair grow out again (I cut it all off when I was 18).    I'll never look this good:    But I'll aspire to look my best! ☺️
